Solar-powered Ecocapsule lets you live off-the-grid anywhere in the world

Is your dream to live <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tag/off-grid/" target="_blank">off-grid</a> in any place of your choosing? The tiny egg-shaped <a href="http://www.ecocapsule.sk" target="_blank">Ecocapsule</a> could be the low-energy home you’re looking for. Designed by Bratislava-based <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tag/nice-architects" target="_blank">Nice Architects</a>, the Ecocapsule is a micro-shelter that packs an impressive sustainable punch—the ultra-portable house is powered by solar and wind energy, and also includes rainwater collection and filtration.

The compact Ecocapsule fits all the home necessities within an egg-shaped space measuring 4.5 meters (14.6 feet) in length, 2.4 meters (7.9 feet) in width, and 2.5 meters in height (8.2 feet).

The total usable floor space is eight square meters (86 square feet).

The portable home includes a folding bed, two large operable windows, a working/dining area, shower and flushable toilet, storage space, and a built-in kitchenette with running water.

Despite its small footprint, the designers say the micro-shelter can comfortably fit two adults.

A built-in 750W wind turbine and a 2.6-square-meter array of high-efficiency solar cells (600W output) power the Ecocapsule.

The dual-power system and high-capacity battery (9,744Wh capacity) ensures the shelter will stay operable even during times of low solar or wind activity.

Each Ecocapsule weighs 1,500 kilograms and can fit inside a standard shipping container.
